A Montana lawmaker tried to make it illegal to teach scientific "theory" in schools. Clearly he doesn't know how science works! Watch @mehdirhasan list some basic science kids wouldn't have been allowed to learn in a 60-second rant:

Thanks for reporting on this. I know our Republicans aren't as loud as mtg or boeboe but they're just as terrible.

But alternative facts were still OK right? 🙄🤦‍♂️
The anti-intellectualism at the core of conservatism is so dangerous and destructive.

The reason for going after "theory" is that much modern scientific theory contradicts much Christian dogma.

Still missing the point that "laws" describe what happens and "theories" describe why. A "theory" doesn't graduate into becoming a "law," nor do "laws" get demoted if something like relativity comes along and shows that Newton's laws only work within limited bounds.

Before you know it, school orchestras, marching bands and jazz bands will be shut down because no one has proven "music theory" either...

Whoever wrote the word “bazin-gone” deserves a raise

I love how profoundly dumb conservative ideas have become background noise that we all just accept as a normal feature of American culture.
